Jennifer Morrison Life Story

This former child model decided to pursue a career in film and television after graduating from Loyola University Chicago. She appeared as the terrifying ghost in the horror flick Stir of Echoes. She got her first lead role in the 2000 film Urban Legends: Final Cut. But she realized that she would be typecast as a scream queen if she didn’t branch out soon, so she decided to audition for some bad comedies like Grind and Surviving Christmas. She also appeared in Mr. and Mrs. Smith alongside Angelina Jolie. Jennifer appeared on several hit shows including Touched by an Angel and Dawson’s Creek (with Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams) before landing the role of Dr. Allison Cameron on House. Despite her slight build, Jennifer was named one of the hottest TV stars of 2007 alongside Eva Longoria and Evangeline Lilly. She also appeared in the 2007 video game Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars as a GDI InOps officer alongside Michael Ironside and Grace Park. Jennifer next appeared in Big Stan with Rob Schneider, but audiences skipped that and waited for something better. More saw Jennifer as Winona Kirk in wacky re-imagining of Star Trek. She also plays a lead in Table For Three alongside Sophia Bush and Brandon Routh.

In September 2009, it was announced that Ms. Morrison had shot her final scenes for House and that these would be broadcst in November 2009. The departure was not Jennifer's decision, and came shortly after series creator David Shaw gave interviews in which he said her neglected character would be restored to a more prominent role. Many fans viewed her axing as the latest in a series of bad decisions by the show's creative team. But House writers have struggled to write believable female characters.

Jennifer played the female lead in the well-reviewed Warrior with Nick Nolte. She then landed a co-lead with Ginnifer Goodwin on ABC's fantasy series Once Upon A Time. Conceived by former Lost writers, the show has done well in its initial season

Jennifer Morrison was briefly engaged to fellow House player Jesse Spencer. They called off the wedding, but House writers subsequently thought it would be fun to have their on-screen characters get married. While dropping Jennifer, the production team announced Jesse will stay with the male-dominated show.
